    Premier League reveal new Nike Flight ball for the 2023-24 season

    The Premier League have revealed their new match ball ahead of the 2023–24 season with the release of the schedule for the upcoming season.

    The Nike Flight ball’s fourth iteration has been released, however, it differs significantly from the version that was utilized last term.

    The original Mitre ball from the first three seasons of the Premier League (1992–1995) was reflected in the 2022–23 edition, which had gold arrows all over it.

    However, Nike has decided to go with a primarily orange pattern with a black and purple border to compliment it, so the colour scheme will be considerably different next season.

    After taking over from Mitre in 2000, Nike is expected to supply the match ball for the top division for the 24th consecutive season.

    Nike asserts that the unique shape of the Flight ball improves aerodynamics.

    Pep Guardiola’s Treble-winning Manchester City will be involved in the first game that uses the new ball when they take on Burnley on the opening Friday night of the season on August 11.

    Vincent Kompany led the Clarets to the Championship title last year, and the former City defender will be hoping to exact revenge on his former team when they visit Turf Moor on the first day of the season.

    After then, during the course of the weekend, the remaining 18 clubs will have an opportunity to try it out for themselves.

    The most important matchup is Chelsea vs. Liverpool, which is scheduled for Sunday, August 13. Manchester United’s season will begin the following night at home against Wolves.
